Episode 21: The Smelly Car

Episode #61; 4:21


Our Summary

A parking valet leaves a horrible odor in Jerry's car, which affects Jerry and Elaine by making them smelly, like Tiffany. Kramer makes Susan's lesbian girlfriend his girlfriend, causing George to utter a prophecy that would be found within the Deparment of Mysteries. (That probably belonged in the commentary, but I don't see it there.)



Our Commentary

Not to be confused with The Smelly Cat, a la Phoebe's Billboard topping song, and that the letter "t" is next to the letter "r" on the keyboard, The Smelly Car contains a hilarious OCB and CCB, even though we are missing the CCB, but luckily I was looking at the script and we read it, hilarious, as I started this sentence. This makes me wonder and makes me afraid, very afraid, that we are missing a ton of CCBs. Hopefully, this is not true, but starting next siyum, I'll check each script beforehand. Now, into the funky stuff we go, a la Dave Goldberg. Susan is great as a lesbian and the whole scene of George interacting with her lesbianness is 100 Percent, Pure Florida George. Not from concentrate, nor grovestand, or homestyle. Grovestand is just disgusting, it's all pulp, no juice. No, Jewess, a la Cable Guy. Sorry about that. We get a Scary MacGuyver Guy, a beautiful comparison of the car and Elaine's hair, Kramer's Kevorka origins, and another LD Rochelle, Rochelle. Overall, a beaut of an ep. Adam - Jared has this episode on his Top 50. I do not. It's a great episode, but not that great. We save Top 50 episodes for special ones, like half of them, but this one doesn't make that cut. Out of 179 episodes, it's probably number 89, thereby making the Top 51 list.
